That is an interesting question. Do both dials/handsets move at the same time?

Yes

 

[twuthetiger]

is the duofaced reverso chronograph also a GMT (because the 2nd face can operate on a different timezone like the other day/night reversos?)

One side can have the hour hand to be different than the other using the pusher hidden on the top. So yes it is sort of a GMT? Although you can't really see what the other side says unless you acutally flip it over.

One thing I will say is that I am not really the fan of the buckle. Does any one know if the AD can order like a deployment buckle like the other models? Or where would I find one of those if I fancy one?

You should be able to order one directly from JLC. Just call up a boutique

Yes. On the chronograph it's always in sync. No independent hour setting (2nd time zone) like the standard Duoface.

Love it. Seriously thinking about adding a 5817st myself, classic silver or black or blue.

Thoughts @Ebitdaddy? Our Breguet specialist.

Yeah I think they are still amazing value second hand. Wouldn’t hesitate.

Ebitdaddy deals Breguet watches to the fentanyl zombies in Vancouver, near the steam clock. Buy the seller…

My future new Sub by Larvee, i am on waiting list

 

[DorianGreen]

Dorian is performing a reverse gangbang on SF. How he pleases all these threads in such a short period is worthy of envy. Bro has stamina. But a poor watch game.

I may have a poor (man's) watch game, but I will tell you that I really enjoy each of my humble timepieces and wouldn't change them with any Armin Strom or Bergeron or Patek Philippe Grande Complications. Maybe I'm not a true watch enthusiast, because my interest is mainly put on aesthetics and engineering is only secondary.

I think it’s just because you’re poor.

…and idiot.
Who wouldn’t exchange a Yema for a Patek?
Then sell the Patek and buy thousands of sh*tty watches if you prefer.

 

[Keyser_Söze]

If you want a cordovan strap you’ll have to go direct through Casa Fagliano, be prepared to pay around $500 for it though.

Or look around on Etsy for way less.

Nothing is going to stray me from a 3940 but... I'm starting to reconsider a Nautilus. I'm seeing Royal Oaks for in the 26-32k range and it's hard to just imagine that a 3800 (which is the cheapest of the Nautilus line) is worth more than double that. And it's the 2nd child in the Genta lineage. Why would I pay x2 for what isn't the best-in-class watch? Nothing outdoes a Patek Grand Complication... so it's hard to imagine the Royal Oak is outdone by the Nautilus for double the price.
